Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.
I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.
Celebratory dance in Hungary
The woman being murdered in the video Trump posted was an immigrant. Her name was Nilufar Yasmin. She was from Bangladesh. Trump is weaponizing her death against communities like hers. Outstanding reporting from @pabloreports.bsky.social for Migrant Insider. migrantinsider.com/p/her-name-w...
I'm going to point out that we spent a shit ton of taxpayer money on moderna and he's stealing it from us.
“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”
Adam means that she is the daughter of immigrants, but it is worth emphasizing that *every* U.S. citizen who has not been naturalized is a birthright citizen, either by the 14th Amendment or by statute.
“Trump says there’s no money for daycare because we have to fight wars.”
“We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of daycare,” he said. “It’s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things.”

Zu klar, zu stark, zu gnädig: Natascha Kampusch trat nie wie ein Opfer auf. Und auch 20 Jahre nach ihrer Flucht ist Österreich nicht bereit für so viel Selbstbestimmung.
Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court.
DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses!
DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations."
DOJ blames ICE (page 2)
Deutschland 2026, wenn Dich das Bekenntnis zum Völkerrecht als Bundespräsident disqualifiziert.

Knapp acht Jahre nach dem Angriff von Neonazis auf zwei Journalisten im thüringischen #Fretterode kam es heute dort erneut zu einer Attacke auf Pressevertreter. Als mutmaßliche Täter wurden der Neonazi Thorsten Heise und einer seiner Söhne festgenommen:
I love the form the NYTimes “bothsidesism” takes in this article. On one hand, professors worry that something they or a student says might put them on the radar of authorities and then deported. On the other hand, I don’t have to feel imaginary pressure to say “menstruating persons” anymore!
Why is the party of Christian nationalism inventing the threat of Sharia law? @sashaabramsky.bsky.social argues that it's racist bait-and-switch politics.

The right's attacks on James Talarico reveal the "ever-stronger fusion between extremist right-wing Christianity and the Republican Party."
Great from @aselrod.bsky.social. Really underscores importance of his campaign as an antidote to Christian nationalism:

Musk shares Curtis Yarvin great replacement theory
Here’s Elon Musk again spreading the white nationalist great replacement theory - this time as summarized by Curtis Yarvin, an internet troll turned MAGA “intellectual” who has influenced VP JD Vance’s worldview. In the full quote, Yarvin compares the U.S. to South Africa - Musk’s native country.
Weil zuletzt viel über Curtis Yarvin gesprochen wird: Ich war Mitte Februar im Ferdinandi-Hof, wo der US-Neo-Monarchist und Thiel-Freund vor Rechtsextremen eine Anleitung im Demokratie-Zerstören gab. Es ging um Unterwanderung, den Holocaust - und Sydney Sweeney. Ein Thread 🧵
Dazwischen telefoniere ich an diesem Tag noch mit dem Schriftsteller Daniel Kehlmann. Er ist wütend, dass man einen Extremisten wie Curtis Yarvin einlädt, wo man ihm vor zwei Jahren verboten hat, einen linken Intellektuellen für einen Auftritt im Schloss einzuladen. Kehlmann schreibt eine Mail nach Elmau, die er mir weiterleitet: "Ich habe gerade das Programm für die Philosophentagung in Elmau gesehen, und ich kann nicht fassen, daß Curtis Yarvin eingeladen ist. Einen Tag vorher hält er übrigens in Wien einen Vortrag im Hauptquartier der Hitlerjugend, mit einer Einführung von Martin Sellner, dem Anführer der Identitären Neonazibewegung." Es ist schon dunkel, als Krastev am Telefon mit seiner leisen, traurigen Stimme seufzt: "Ich habe kein Social Media." Wenn er Yarvin jetzt auslade, dann mache er doch genau, was diese Leute erwarteten. "Und sie sind nicht mehr irgendwelche verrückten Außenseiter. Sie sitzen in der Regierung, wir müssen uns mit ihnen auseinandersetzen."
"Ich habe kein Social Media", sagt Ivan Krastev über Curtis Yarvin. Das erlebe ich in letzter Zeit sehr oft: Leute können neue und extrem rechte Akteure überhaupt nicht einschätzen, weil sie gar nicht wahrnehmen, was die in ihren Plattformformaten treiben. ABER...

Climate change’s rising seas may threaten tens of millions more people than scientists and government planners originally thought because of mistaken research assumptions on how high coastal waters already are, a new study said.
Because it's so incredibly hard to believe I am saying it one more time: "Tens of thousands of Americans are losing access to treatment for H.I.V."
They are quite literally letting people die of an entirely preventable death. Most of them are men who have sex with men.
The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.
He spent a year in jail for this.
dispatch from the south Bronx, where I heard from a few of the people who took part in the takeovers of Lincoln Hospital by the Young Lords and their allies. they're still fighting for their people, who have some of the highest drug overdose rates in the city
My guess is that the goal here is not only to punish the children for turning more people against ICE/DHS, but also to make news outlets think twice about reporting on kids' suffering at the hands of ICE/DHS, out of concern that doing so might lead to retaliation against the kids.
“Jackson is arrested in 1993 after blocking 5th Avenue as part of a group protesting against the Clinton administration’s policy of maintaining a detention camp for Haitian political refugees who were HIV positive”
Remember this history as we remember this man.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

“They are making preparations to stay inside … They are afraid for their children," said Dr. Carl Ruby, a pastor at Central Christian Church. "Just yesterday, I had some Haitians in our church give me power of attorney in case they become separated from their children so we can take care of them.”
